General

For the handset use only approved Nickel Metal

casing. Recommended batteries should have a power
rating of 550mAh 1.2V. Batteries are available from the

Do not open the handset or base. This could expose you
to high voltages or other risks. Contact the helpline for
all repairs.

Radio signals transmitted between the handset and base
may cause interference to hearing aids.

It is recommended that advice from a qualified expert
be sought before using this product in the vicinity of
emergency/intensive care medical equipment.

It is recommended that if you have a pacemaker fitted
you check with a medical expert before using this
product.

Safety information

10

BT Freelance XD ~ 3rd Edition ~ 2nd August ’02 ~ 4832

Cleaning

Simply clean the handset and base with a damp (not wet)
cloth, or an anti-static wipe.

Never use household polish as this will damage the
product.

Never use a dry cloth as this may cause a static shock.

Environmental

Do not expose to direct sunlight.

The product may heat up when the batteries are being
recharged. This is normal. However, we recommend
that you do not place the product on antique/veneered
wood to avoid damage.

Do not stand your product on carpets or other surfaces
which generate fibres, or place it in locations preventing
free flow of air over its surfaces.

Do not submerge any part of your product in water and
do not use it in damp or humid conditions, such as in
bathrooms.

Do not expose your product to fire, explosive or other
hazardous conditions.

There is a slight chance that your phone could be
damaged by an electrical storm. We recommend that
you unplug the power and telephone line cord for the
duration of the storm.

11

BT Freelance XD ~ 3rd Edition ~ 2nd August ’02 ~ 4832

Setting up

Follow these steps to set up your BT Freelance XD 100
ready for use.

Plan the location

Situate your product close enough to the telephone and
mains power supply sockets so that the cables will reach.

Make sure the product is at least 1 metre away from other
electrical products to avoid interference.

Do not place your BT Freelance XD 100 in the bathroom or
other humid areas.

1 Connect the power supply cable

Plug the power supply cable into the power socket
on your BT Freelance XD 100 base (Item number

872260). The power light on the base will
come on.

2

Plug the power supply adaptor into
the wall socket

12

BT Freelance XD ~ 3rd Edition ~ 2nd August ’02 ~ 4832

Warning

Do not connect the telephone line cord to the phone socket
until your handset is fully charged. This will prevent the
risk of the phone being answered before the batteries are
charged. Answering the phone before the batteries are fully
charged may prevent it from reaching its optimum capacity.

3 Insert the batteries

Insert the two batteries supplied, as indicated on
the markings inside the battery compartment and
slide the battery compartment shut. The handset
display will show . This means one handset is
registered to the base. (If you have purchased the
BT Freelance XD 100 Twin the additional handset
will show

-2-

. See page 15.)

13

BT Freelance XD ~ 3rd Edition ~ 2nd August ’02 ~ 4832

Warning

Under no circumstances should NiCad or non-rechargeable
batteries be used. Only use the approved batteries. Using
unapproved batteries will invalidate your guarantee and
may damage the telephone.

IMPORTANT

The handset must always be placed on the base
face up. The base must be plugged into the
mains power socket at all times.

4

Charge the handset batteries for at
least 16 hours

Before you use your BT Freelance XD 100 for the
first time it is important to have the handset
batteries fully charged. Place the handset on the
base. You will hear a long beep. The red charging
light on the base will come on and the battery and
charging icon will be displayed. Leave the
handset to charge continuously for at least 16
hours to reach full charge.

The handset comes pre-registered but the icon
will flash to indicate that the handset is linking
up with the base. Once link up is successful the

icon will stop flashing and remain steady.

Once the handset is fully charged, the charging
icon will be switched off.

The charging light will remain red even when the
batteries are fully charged.

14

BT Freelance XD ~ 3rd Edition ~ 2nd August ’02 ~ 4832

Battery levels

Battery low warning

If the handset battery symbol is empty, you will hear a
warning beep ever y 1 minute, you will need to recharge
your handset before you can use it. The handset will
only beep every minute when it is in use. In idle mode
the empty battery icon is displayed.

Out of range warning

When the handset is in use and you go out of range of
the base it will beep every 1 minute and the icon
will flash. Move closer to the base.

Signal Strength

The BT Freelance XD 100 and BT Freelance XD 100
Twin have a range of up to 300 metres outdoors and up
to 50 metres indoors. This is in ideal conditions. The
range will be reduced when there is no clear line of
sight between the base and the handset. Thick stone
walls can severely affect the range.

Battery performance

Fully discharging the batteries at least once a week will
help them last as long as possible. However, the charge
capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time
as they wear out, so reducing the talk/standby time of
the handset. Eventually they will need to be replaced.
New batteries can be obtained from the BT Freelance
XD 100 Helpline 08706 058 047.

Note: Under ideal conditions, the handset batteries should
give about 14 hours talktime or 350 hours standby on
a single charge. Optimum times for talk and standby
are only achieved when the handset batteries are
fully charged.

Technical information

How many telephones can you have?

All items of telephone equipment have a Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN), which is used to calculate the number of
items which may be connected to any one telephone line.
Your BT Freelance XD 100 and Freelance XD 100 Twin has
a REN of 1. A total REN of 4 is allowed, if the total REN of 4
is exceeded, the telephones may not ring.

With different telephone types there is no guarantee of
ringing, even when the REN is less than 4.

Only use approved power supply, item number 872260 for
the BT Freelance XD 100 base. If you have purchased the
BT Freelance XD 100 Twin, for the charger use only item
number 003313.

Switchboard compatibility

This product is intended for use within the UK for
connection to the public telephone network and compatible
switchboards, which support tone dialling and timed break
recall. If in doubt please consult your service provider.

Switchboard external line access code

You may need to enter an access code (e.g. 9) in order to
get an outside line. So that the switchboard has time to pick
up an outside line, you may also need to add a Pause after
the access code.

Setting pauses

To insert a pause in a stored number

With some switchboards, after dialling the access
code you may have to wait for a moment while the
switchboard picks up an outside line

If so, press the REDIAL/PAUSE button to insert
a pause before entering the telephone number.

If you need to insert a pause into a telephone
number you are storing in the memory, start
storing the number, (see page 22) and where the
pause is needed, press the REDIAL/PAUSE button.

To use the recall button

The RECALL button is of use when connected to
some switchboards, ie. to transfer calls or for
some BT Select Services or those ser vices
available via your network provider. It is only
available when a call is in progress.
